State legislatures across the country are accelerating efforts to shape immigration enforcement policy after the deadly shooting of a Minnesota woman by a federal agent, raising tensions between local leaders and the Trump administration.

From California to New York and Illinois to New Jersey, they’re pushing a range of bills aimed at limiting enforcement and protecting people targeted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, while turning up the rhetoric with comparisons to the Gestapo.

            The meme is saying that if you’re being robbed, you need to fight, they aren’t going to stop because it’s illegal. My understanding of the meme is it’s mocking the idea that following the rules will protect you from corrupt police. Your rights won’t protect you
